Anybody with a boat should have *at least* $1mm liability umbrella.

Run into a new 40-footer and sink it, and you're going to be in close
to 7 figures of trouble long before the "whiplash claims" get any
traction.

Good news is that a liability umbrella is pretty cheap insurance. We
carry a substantial
policy that has to be by far the lowest cost, per dollar of coverage,
of any insurance policy we own.

$1mm isn't any sort of money anymore. When I was a kid, anybody with
$1mm was considered set for life, now they're lucky to be considered
anything beyond middle class and unless they have a pension coming in
they are darn sure working for a living.

I don't think the new requirement is unrealistic.

I've had 2 million liability on the Navigator since the year after I bought
it. Didn't trust my boat handling skills. Smile

Actually, the basic policy included 1 million for liability. It was very
short bucks to increase it to 2 million which I did after seeing some of the
mega yachts down south.

On another note ... just listed the Navigator with a broker. After
considerable thought we've come to realize that it is doubtful that we have
any long range cruising in our future for a while. Too busy with other
activities and would be limited in the amount of time we could spend away.
We'll keep the GB and use it for local cruising over to Martha's Vineyard,
Cuttyhunk, etc.

Problem is .... if and when it sells I'll have a 55' empty slip. I can
always lease it out.
The slip is the best non-real estate investment we've made.

Actually, it's worse than a typo. It's conditioning. We see screwed up
grammar so often in public places nowadays, the mind begins to process it as
correct. All Shrub's On Sale This Weekend.

You could always rip out the diesels and put in a surplus gas turbine.
Might have to modify the trim tabs a bit though.

Good project for you.
